Your First Visit

What Will Happen on My First Visit?

The first visit is to essentially gather the necessary information to see if chiropractic is right for you. You will meet with Dr. Bonnie after filling out some brief paperwork describing your health history and health goals.

If you are a good candidate for chiropractic care and we think that chiropractic can help you, the next step is an examination. In the examination we will be checking for a condition that happens in the spine called a "vertebral subluxation."

A Vertebral Subluxation is the most common spinal injury and results in a disruption of the flow of intelligence from your brain to your body; it interferes with your Mind/Body connection. A chiropractic examination in our office is focused on discovering any previous spinal injuries with nerve damage.  There are many parts to the examination and each part is explained as it is being performed.

Dr Bonnie will evaluate the condition of your spine with a computer scan, weight imbalance, posture analysis, checking muscle tone and integrity, range of motion and other neurological tests.  The importance of each of these tests and your results will be explained to you at your Report of Findings.

It is important to note that this examination helps scientifically understand the subluxation process going on in your spine.  It also gives the doctor a baseline for future tests so she can accurately measure your progress to see how your spine is connecting and your nervous system is functioning.

At the end of the first visit, we will schedule your second appointment.  On your second visit, Dr. Bonnie will give you your Report of Findings, go over recommendations for your care, and discuss insurance and financial options.

Once you decide to participate, we will review our office policies and procedures with you, schedule your appointments, make payment arrangements, and then begin your chiropractic adjustments. Future visits in the office will be focused on the reduction and correction of your subluxations, and therefore will not consume much time.  Periodically, we will perform Progress Exams to evaluate your progress and see how your spine is correcting and stabilizing. We will do all we can to get you to Wellness care as quickly as possible.

You will be joining the millions of others worldwide that have enjoyed better health through chiropractic.

Congratulations on your decision to participate in chiropractic care in our office!
